FOLLOW JESUS

Learn to Walk With Jesus in Life

Following Jesus isn’t about having all the answers or getting everything right—it’s about learning to trust Him day by day. It’s a growing relationship that shapes how we think, love, respond, and live in everyday life. At Sonrise Church in Santee, following Jesus means being formed by His truth, guided by His grace, and supported by community as we grow over time—right where we are.

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me… whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit.

— John 15:4–5

Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.”

— Matthew 16:24

Follow me and I will make you fishers of men.

— Matthew 4:19

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.

— Matthew 28:19-20

Exploring community invites you into relationships that support your growth, help you stay grounded, and reflect God’s love through everyday connection.

Life Patterns & Experiences

Life With God

Following Jesus begins with a growing relationship with God Himself. Life with God is learning to trust Him, listen for His voice, and live aware of His presence in everyday moments. As faith takes root, obedience becomes a response to grace—not obligation—shaping how we think, choose, and live. This foundation anchors you in something steady and lasting, guiding you toward reverence, trust, submission, and a deeper walk with Him.

Everyday Life

Following Jesus shapes how we navigate everyday life—the moments of joy, struggle, waiting, conflict, and healing that make up our days. Faith isn’t meant to stay abstract or confined to Sunday; it speaks into real decisions, relationships, and challenges we face. Exploring everyday life helps connect God’s truth to real situations, guiding us toward wisdom, gratitude, forgiveness, and hope as we learn to live out our faith where it matters most.
